Hi
I am interested in finding any relatives of Richard Wilson, married to Ada Whitworth. They lived in Horwich, Lancashire and came out to Australia around 1914 on the ship Irishman. Their children were Eric, Alice, Alma, Richard, Frances.

Hi Laurel.
Richard married Ada Whitworth. 1894 April/June Qtr. registered in Bolton. vol 8c 524. Copy of this certificate will give their ages, their Father's names and occupations and witnesses who may be siblings.

Births.
Alma Whitworth Wilson. 1895. Jan/March Qtr. reg in Bolton. vol 8c 453
Frances Mary. 1896. April/June Qtr. reg in Bolton. vol 8c 405

Ada Alice. 1899 Jan/March Qtr. reg in Bolton. vol 8c 412
Eric. 1895. July/Sept. Qtr. reg in Bolton. vol 8c 418.

There are several possibilities for Richard.

1901 census
Richard. 34 1867. Born Birkenhead. Railway Store Keeper.
Ada 28. 1873. Born Salford.Manchester.
Alma W 6 1895. Born Horwich
Frances Mary. 5. 1896 Born Horwich
Richard S 1898 Born Horwich
Ada Alice. 1 1900 Born Horwich.

1891 census
Richard. 23. Railway Clerk. Born Birkenhead.

without his Father's name from Marriage certificate I cannot find him on the 1881 census for certain.

Hope this helps. Ethel.
